BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

With the increase in user demand for high-definition videos, video data volumes are also increasing. Without compression, such videos cannot be easily applied to actual storage and transmission. A video encoding and decoding technology can effectively compress video data, implementing rapid transmission and offline storage of the video data on the Internet. Therefore, a video compression and decoding technology is a key technology in video application.

However, in a video encoding and decoding process of the related art, relatively large distortion occurs in a video, affecting normal playback of the video.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

In order to make a person skilled in the art better understand the solutions of this application, the following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Apparently, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of this application rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

In this specification, the claims, and the accompanying drawings of this application, the terms “first”, “second”, and so on are intended to distinguish similar objects but do not necessarily indicate a specific order or sequence. It is to be understood that the data termed in such a way are interchangeable in appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than the order illustrated or described herein. Moreover, the terms “include”, “contain” and any other variants mean to cover the non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a list of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those expressly listed steps or units, but may include other steps or units not expressly listed or inherent to such a process, method, system, product, or device.

During implementation of the embodiments of this application, it is found that in a video encoding process of the related art, as shown in FIG. 1, if different blocks in a frame of a video are encoded with a high resolution, when a transmission bandwidth is relatively small (for example, less than a bandwidth threshold Th shown in FIG. 1), a PSNR 1 used in a case in which different blocks in a frame of the video are encoded with a high resolution is lower than a PSNR 2 used in a case in which different blocks in a frame of the video are encoded with a low resolution. In other words, when the transmission bandwidth is relatively small, the PSNR 1 when a high resolution is used for encoding is relatively small, and distortion is relatively large.

Similarly, if different blocks in a frame of the video are encoded with a low resolution, when the transmission bandwidth is relatively large (for example, greater than the bandwidth threshold Th shown in FIG. 1), a PSNR 3 corresponding to the case in which different blocks in a frame of the video are encoded with a low resolution is lower than a PSNR 4 corresponding to a case in which different blocks in a frame of the video are encoded with a high resolution. In other words, when the transmission bandwidth is relatively large, the PSNR 3 when a low resolution is used for encoding is relatively small, and distortion is relatively large.

In addition, because for different types of videos, different frames in the same video, or different blocks in the same frame, an intersection D shown in FIG. 1 moves, fluctuations in the PSNRs are relatively large due to the use of the same resolution for video encoding and decoding.

To resolve the foregoing problems, the embodiments of this application provide a video encoding method and apparatus, a video decoding method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium, to reduce distortion in a video encoding and decoding process.

The video encoding method and the video decoding method provided in the embodiments of this application may be implemented by a terminal or a server alone, or may be collaboratively implemented by the terminal and the server. For example, after acquiring a to-be-encoded video, the terminal independently performs the video encoding method described below, to obtain encoded data of the to-be-encoded video and store the encoded data. When the video needs to be played, the video decoding method described below is used to decode the encoded data, and the video is played. After acquiring a to-be-encoded video, a terminal A performs the video encoding method described below on the to-be-encoded video, to obtain encoded data of the to-be encoded video, and sends the encoded data to the server. The server decodes the encoded data, and sends the decoded video to a terminal B for playback.

The electronic device provided in the embodiments of this application for implementing the video encoding method and the video decoding method described below may be various types of terminal devices or servers. The server may be an independent physical server, or may be a server cluster or a distributed system including a plurality of physical servers, or may be a cloud server that provides cloud computing services. The terminal may be a smartphone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a smart speaker, a smart watch, or the like, and is not limited thereto. The terminal and the server may be directly or indirectly connected in a wired or wireless communication manner. This is not limited in this application.

FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a video encoding and decoding system 10 according to an embodiment of this application. A terminal 304-1 is connected to a terminal 304-2 by using a network 300. The network 300 may be a wide area network or a local area network, or a combination thereof.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3A, after acquiring a to-be-encoded video (including a plurality of current video frames), the terminal 304-1 determines a resolution corresponding to each Tile region in a plurality of Tile regions in the current video frame to obtain at least two different resolutions; and encodes the Tile region based on the resolution corresponding to the Tile region, to obtain encoded data (an encoded video frame) of the current video frame. The terminal 304-1 sends the encoded video frame (that is, a current video frame) to the terminal 304-2. The terminal 304-2 obtains the current video frame, determines a resolution corresponding to each Tile region in a plurality of Tile regions in the current video frame to obtain at least two different resolutions; and decodes the Tile region based on the resolution corresponding to the Tile region, to obtain a decoded video frame, and plays the video.

The foregoing video encoding method and video decoding method may be applied to, but not limited to, a scenario of audio and video processing. For example, the terminal 304-1 (on which a client A runs) and the terminal 304-2 (on which a client B runs) make a video call. The client A and the client B separately acquire video pictures, encode the acquired video pictures, and send the encoded video to the other party. The other party decodes the received video and plays the decoded video.

In some embodiments, the foregoing video encoding method and video decoding method may be further applied to, but not limited to, scenarios such as the playback of video files and live video streaming.

The foregoing client may be, but not limited to, various applications, for example, an on-line education application, an instant messaging application, a community space application, a game application, a shopping application, a browser application, a financial application, a multimedia application, and a live broadcast application. In some embodiments, the client may be applied to, but not limited to, a scenario in which audio and videos are processed in the foregoing instant messaging application, or may be applied to, but not limited to, a scenario in which audio and videos are processed in the foregoing multimedia application, to avoid large fluctuations in a PSNR of video encoding and decoding. This is merely an example and is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

An embodiment of this application provides a video decoding method. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes:

S202. Obtain a current video frame, the current video frame being divided into a plurality of tile-divided Tile regions.

S204. Determine a resolution corresponding to each Tile region in the plurality of Tile regions to obtain a plurality of resolutions, the plurality of resolutions including at least two different resolutions. In some embodiments, the plurality of resolutions are determined according to a transmission bandwidth of a video stream including the current video frame from a source (e.g., a client terminal 304-1) to a destination (e.g., a client terminal 304-2), e.g., by comparing the transmission bandwidth with a preset bandwidth threshold.

S206. Decode the Tile region based on the resolution corresponding to the Tile region among the plurality of resolutions, to obtain a decoded video frame.

In this embodiment of this application, the video decoding method may be applied to a hardware environment including a server 302 and a terminal 304 (on which a client runs) shown in FIG. 3B. As shown in FIG. 3B, the server 302 obtains a current video frame, determines a resolution corresponding to each Tile region in a plurality of Tile regions to obtain a plurality of resolutions, and decodes the Tile region in the plurality of Tile regions by using the corresponding resolution among the plurality of resolutions, to obtain a decoded video frame. All decoded video frames form a decoded video. The server 302 sends the decoded video to the terminal 304 for playback.

As shown in FIG. 4, the current video frame includes a Tile region 1, a Tile region 2, a Tile region 3, and a Tile region 4. A resolution corresponding to the Tile region 1 is a resolution 1, a resolution corresponding to the Tile region 2 is a resolution 2, a resolution corresponding to the Tile region 3 is the resolution 2, and a resolution corresponding to the Tile region 4 is the resolution 1. That is, a corresponding resolution is determined for each Tile region to obtain a plurality of resolutions. The plurality of resolutions include the resolution 1 and the resolution 2.

In this embodiment of this application, the video decoding method may be applied to, but not limited to, a scenario of audio and video processing. For example, a client A and a client B make a video call. The client A and the client B separately acquire video images, encode the acquired video images, and send the encoded video to the other party. The other party decodes the received video and plays the decoded video.

In this embodiment of this application, the video decoding method may be further applied to, but not limited to, scenarios such as the playback of video files and live video streaming.

The foregoing client may be, but is not limited to, various applications, for example, an on-line education application, an instant messaging application, a community space application, a game application, a shopping application, a browser application, a financial application, a multimedia application, and a live broadcast application. In some embodiments, the client may be applied to, but not limited to, a scenario in which audio and videos are processed in the foregoing instant messaging application, or may be applied to, but not limited to, a scenario in which audio and videos are processed in the foregoing multimedia application, to avoid large fluctuations in a PSNR of video encoding and decoding. This is merely an example and is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

In this embodiment of this application, the plurality of Tile regions included in the current video frame are encoded by using at least two different resolutions.

As shown in FIG. 4, the current video frame is obtained, where the current video frame is divided into the plurality of Tile regions, including: the Tile region 1, the Tile region 2, the Tile region 3, and the Tile region 4. It may be determined that the resolution corresponding to the Tile region 1 is the resolution 1, the resolution corresponding to the Tile region 2 is the resolution 2, the resolution corresponding to the Tile region 3 is the resolution 2, and the resolution corresponding to the Tile region 4 is the resolution 1. The Tile region 1 is decoded by using the resolution 1; the Tile region 2 is decoded by using the resolution 2; the Tile region 3 is decoded by using the resolution 2; and the Tile region 4 is decoded by using the resolution 1. That is, the resolution 1 and the resolution 2 are at least two different resolutions included in the plurality of resolutions.

The current video frame may be divided into a plurality of even Tile regions. As shown in FIG. 4, the Tile region 1, the Tile region 2, the Tile region 3, and the Tile region 4 are Tile regions with the same area. Alternatively, the current video frame may be divided into a plurality of uneven Tile regions. For example, a higher resolution corresponding to a Tile region indicates a smaller area of the Tile region, that is, the area of the Tile region is related to the resolution corresponding to the Tile region.

For example, the current video frame may be divided into a plurality of Tile regions. Some Tile regions in the plurality of Tile regions have a partially crossed region. The partially crossed region is decoded by using the same resolution, to avoid an obvious seam caused after the partially crossed region is decoded by using different resolutions. For example, a current video frame includes a Tile region 1, a Tile region 2, a Tile region 3, and a Tile region 4, where the Tile region 1 and the Tile region 2 have a partially crossed region, that is, the Tile region 1 and the Tile region 2 do not completely overlap. The partially crossed region of the Tile region 1 and the Tile region 2 is decoded by using the resolution 2.

As can be seen, through the foregoing steps, different blocks in a frame of a video are adaptively encoded by using corresponding resolutions. In this way, regardless of whether a transmission bandwidth is relatively small or whether the transmission bandwidth is relatively large, a corresponding PSNR is relatively large, and the distortion is relatively small, thereby ensuring that the PSNR can change within a small range. In addition, the PSNR is relatively large, thereby achieving a technical effect of avoiding large fluctuations in the PSNR of video encoding and decoding, and further resolving the technical problem of large fluctuations in the PSNR due to the use of the same resolution for video encoding and decoding in the related art.

In some embodiments, the determining a resolution corresponding to each Tile region in the plurality of Tile regions includes:

S1. Determine at least two different resolutions for different Tile regions in the plurality of Tile regions.

In this embodiment of this application, at least two resolutions among the resolutions determined for the different Tile regions in the plurality of Tile regions are different. In other words, the resolutions determined for the different Tile regions in the plurality of Tile regions may be completely different, that is, each Tile region corresponds to a resolution, and each Tile region is different. Alternatively, resolutions corresponding to different Tile regions may be the same, but resolutions of the plurality of Tile regions are not completely the same. For example, the resolution of the Tile region in the plurality of Tile regions may be selected from a resolution set, and different resolutions may be selected for the Tile regions from the resolution set, or at least two different resolutions may be selected.

In some embodiments, the determining a resolution corresponding to each Tile region in the plurality of Tile regions includes:

S1. Obtain flag bit data corresponding to each Tile region in the plurality of Tile regions from a syntactic element of the current video frame, the flag bit data being used for identifying the resolution corresponding to the Tile region.

In this embodiment of this application, the resolution corresponding to the Tile region may be added to the syntactic element by, but not limited to, an encoder side and transmitted to a decoder side. A correspondence between a Tile region and a resolution is indicated by using flag bit data in the syntactic element, so that the decoder side decodes the Tile region by using the resolution corresponding to the region.

In this embodiment of this application, the syntactic element used for indicating the resolution used in encoding the Tile region may be a piece of data located at a fixed position of the current video frame. At the position, different data values represent different resolutions. The syntactic element representing the resolution corresponding to the Tile region may be added at this position.

For example, the fixed position of the current video frame may be a position corresponding to an x^(th) byte to a y^(th) byte in a header of encapsulated data used for encapsulating the current video frame, where x and y are natural numbers, the encapsulated data includes a data body and the header, the data body is used for storing the current video frame, and the header is used for storing a timestamp, custom data, and the like of the current video frame. For example, the x^(th) byte to the y^(th) byte in the header store a resolution used for decoding. When the current video frame needs to be decoded, the encapsulated data is parsed, and the flag bit data is obtained through the x^(th) byte to the y^(th) byte in the header, so that the decoder side decodes the Tile region by using the resolution corresponding to the Tile region according to the correspondence that is between the Tile region and the resolution and that is indicated by using the flag bit data.

In this embodiment of this application, during the reconstruction of the video, at least one pair of decoding regions to be reconstructed is determined in the current video frame, where each pair of decoding regions in the at least one pair of decoding regions includes a first decoding region using a resolution A and a second decoding region using a resolution B, and the first decoding region and the second decoding region are decoding regions with adjacent positions;

the resolution A of the first decoding region is adjusted to a target resolution, and the resolution B of the second decoding region is adjusted to the target resolution;

a first edge pixel set is determined in the first decoding region, and a second edge pixel set is determined in the second decoding region, where a position of the first edge pixel set is adjacent to a position of the second edge pixel set;

the first edge pixel set is filtered to obtain the filtered first edge pixel set, and the second edge pixel set is filtered to obtain the filtered second edge pixel set, where the filtered first edge pixel set matches the filtered second edge pixel set.

A first difference between a pixel value of an i^(th) pixel in the filtered first edge pixel set and a pixel value of a i^(th) pixel in the filtered second edge pixel set is determined, where i is a positive integer, j is a positive integer, and the i^(th) pixel corresponds to the i^(th) pixel. A second difference between a pixel value of an i^(th) pixel in the first edge pixel set and a pixel value of a j^(th) pixel in the second edge pixel set is determined. The first difference is less than the second difference, is less than or equal to a total number of pixels in the first edge pixel set, and is less than or equal to a total number of pixels in the second edge pixel set.

The adjustment to the target resolution includes:

1) When the target resolution is equal to the resolution A, the resolution B is adjusted to the resolution A.

2) When the target resolution is equal to the resolution B, the resolution A is adjusted to the resolution B.

3) When the target resolution is equal to a resolution C, the resolution A is adjusted to the resolution C, and the resolution B is adjusted to the resolution C, where the resolution C is different from the resolution A and different from the resolution B.

Edge filtering can be performed only after the resolutions are unified. The resolution adjustment is performed on the foregoing decoding regions, and the edge filtering processing is performed on the edge pixel sets determined in the decoding regions, to avoid obvious seams in the video during the reconstruction, thereby ensuring accurate restoration of content in the video, and further resolving the technical problem of video distortion caused by inconsistent resolutions.

An embodiment of this application provides a video encoding method. As shown in FIG. 5, the method includes:

S502. Perform division processing on a current video frame to obtain a plurality of tile-divided Tile regions included in the current video frame.

S504. Determine a resolution corresponding to each Tile region in the plurality of Tile regions to obtain a plurality of resolutions, the plurality of resolutions including at least two different resolutions. In some embodiments, the plurality of resolutions are determined according to a transmission bandwidth of a video stream including the current video frame from a source (e.g., a client terminal 604) to a destination (e.g., a video server 602), e.g., by comparing the transmission bandwidth with a preset bandwidth threshold.

S506. Encode the Tile region based on the resolution corresponding to the Tile region among the plurality of resolutions, to obtain encoded data of the current video frame.

Encoding technologies of this embodiment of this application include lossless compression encoding technologies (for example, Huffman coding, Shannon coding, run-length encoding (RLC), Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) encoding, and arithmetic coding), and lossy compression encoding technologies (for example, predictive coding, transform coding, quantization coding, and sub-band coding). Decoding technologies of this embodiment of this application correspond to the encoding technologies used.

In this embodiment of this application, the video encoding method may be applied to a hardware environment including a server 602, a server 302, a terminal 604 (on which a client runs), and a terminal 304 (client) shown in FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 6, the server 602 obtains a current video frame acquired by the terminal 604, the current video frame being divided into a plurality of Tile regions; determines a resolution corresponding to each Tile region in the plurality of Tile regions to obtain a plurality of resolutions, the plurality of resolutions including at least two different resolutions; and encodes the Tile region in the plurality of Tile regions by using the corresponding resolution among the plurality of resolutions, to obtain encoded data of the current video frame. Encoded data of all current video frames forms an encoded video. The server 602 sends the encoded video to the server 302 for decoding, and the server 302 sends the decoded video to the client 304 for playback.

For example, the current video frame includes a Tile region 1, a Tile region 2, a Tile region 3, and a Tile region 4. A resolution corresponding to the Tile region 1 is a resolution 1, a resolution corresponding to the Tile region 2 is a resolution 2, a resolution corresponding to the Tile region 3 is the resolution 2, and a resolution corresponding to the Tile region 4 is the resolution 1. That is, a corresponding resolution is determined for each Tile region to obtain a plurality of resolutions. The plurality of resolutions include the resolution 1 and the resolution 2.

In this embodiment of this application, the video encoding method may be applied to, but not limited to, a scenario of audio and video processing. For example, a client A and a client B make a video call. The client A and the client B separately acquire video images, encode the acquired video images, and send the encoded video to the other party. The other party decodes the received video and plays the decoded video.

In this embodiment of this application, the video encoding method may be further applied to, but not limited to, scenarios such as the playback of video files and live video streaming.

The foregoing client may be, but not limited to, various applications, for example, an on-line education application, an instant messaging application, a community space application, a game application, a shopping application, a browser application, a financial application, a multimedia application, and a live broadcast application. In some embodiments, the client may be applied to, but not limited to, a scenario in which audio and videos are processed in the foregoing instant messaging application, or may be applied to, but not limited to, a scenario in which audio and videos are processed in the foregoing multimedia application, to avoid large fluctuations in a PSNR of video encoding and decoding. This is merely an example and is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

In this embodiment of this application, different Tile regions in the current video frame are encoded by using different resolutions. For example, the current video frame is divided into four Tile regions: a Tile region 1, a Tile region 2, a Tile region 3, and a Tile region 4. It is determined that the Tile region 1 corresponds to a resolution 1, the Tile region 2 and the Tile region 3 correspond to a resolution 2, and the Tile region 4 corresponds to a resolution 3. The Tile region 1 is encoded by using the resolution 1; the Tile region 2 and the Tile region 3 are encoded by using the resolution 2; and the Tile region 4 is encoded by using the resolution 3. That is, the resolution 1 and the resolution 2 are at least two different resolutions included in the plurality of resolutions.

The current video frame may be divided into a plurality of even Tile regions. For example, the Tile region 1, the Tile region 2, the Tile region 3, and the Tile region 4 are Tile regions with the same area. The current video frame may be divided into a plurality of uneven Tile regions. For example, a higher resolution corresponding to a Tile region indicates a smaller area of the Tile region, that is, the area of the Tile region is related to the resolution corresponding to the Tile region.

For example, the current video frame may be divided into a plurality of Tile regions. Some Tile regions in the plurality of Tile regions have a partially crossed region. The partially crossed region is encoded by using the same resolution, to avoid an obvious seam in a subsequent decoding process. For example, a current video frame includes a Tile region 1, a Tile region 2, a Tile region 3, and a Tile region 4, where the Tile region 1 and the Tile region 2 have a partially crossed region, that is, the Tile region 1 and the Tile region 2 do not completely overlap. The partially crossed region of the Tile region 1 and the Tile region 2 is encoded by using the resolution 2.

In this embodiment of this application, the plurality of Tile regions included in the current video frame are encoded by using at least two different resolutions.

As can be seen, through the foregoing steps, different regions in a frame of a video are adaptively encoded by using corresponding resolutions. In this way, regardless of whether a transmission bandwidth is relatively small or whether the transmission bandwidth is relatively large, a corresponding PSNR is relatively large, and the distortion is relatively small, thereby ensuring that the PSNR can change within a small range. In addition, the PSNR is relatively large, thereby achieving a technical effect of avoiding large fluctuations in the PSNR of video encoding and decoding, and further resolving the technical problem of large fluctuations in the PSNR due to the use of the same resolution for video encoding and decoding in the related art.

In some embodiments, the determining a resolution corresponding to each Tile region in the plurality of Tile regions includes:

performing the following processing on the Tile region in the plurality of Tile regions:

S1. Determine, for each resolution in a resolution set, a rate distortion cost of encoding the Tile region.

S2. Determine a resolution corresponding to a smallest rate distortion cost as the resolution corresponding to the Tile region.

In this embodiment of this application, a manner of determining the resolution corresponding to the Tile region is to provide a resolution set, calculate a rate distortion cost of encoding a current Tile region for each resolution in the resolution set, and determine a resolution corresponding to a calculated smallest rate distortion cost as the resolution corresponding to the current Tile region.

In some embodiments, the determining a resolution corresponding to each Tile region in the plurality of Tile regions includes:

S1. Obtain an inputted resolution determining instruction, the resolution determining instruction being used for indicating the resolution corresponding to the Tile region.

S2. Determine the resolution indicated by the resolution determining instruction as the resolution corresponding to the Tile region.

In this embodiment of this application, a manner of determining the resolution corresponding to the Tile region is to indicate the resolution corresponding to the Tile region through a resolution determining instruction.

In some embodiments, the determining a resolution corresponding to each Tile region in the plurality of Tile regions includes:

S1. Determine at least two different resolutions for different Tile regions in the plurality of Tile regions.

In this embodiment of this application, at least two resolutions among the resolutions determined for the different Tile regions in the plurality of Tile regions are different. In other words, the resolutions determined for the different Tile regions in the plurality of Tile regions may be completely different, that is, each Tile region corresponds to a resolution, and each Tile region is different. Alternatively, resolutions corresponding to different Tile regions may be the same, but resolutions of the plurality of Tile regions are not completely the same. For example, the resolution of the Tile region in the plurality of Tile regions may be selected from a resolution set, and different resolutions may be selected for the Tile regions from the resolution set, or at least two different resolutions may be selected.

In some embodiments, the determining a resolution corresponding to each Tile region in the plurality of Tile regions includes:

S1. Encode the Tile region based on the resolution corresponding to the Tile region among the plurality of resolutions, to obtain encoded data corresponding to the Tile region.

S2. Determine flag bit data corresponding to the encoded data corresponding to the Tile region, the flag bit data being used for identifying the resolution corresponding to the Tile region.

S3. Add the flag bit data as a syntactic element to the encoded data corresponding to the Tile region.

In this embodiment of this application, a resolution used in encoding each Tile region may be indicated by adding flag bit data. For example, the current video frame is divided into the four Tile regions: the Tile region 1, the Tile region 2, the Tile region 3, and the Tile region 4. The Tile region 1 is encoded by using the resolution 1, and a syntactic element used for representing the resolution 1 is added to the Tile region 1; the Tile region 2 and the Tile region 3 are encoded by using the resolution 2, and a syntactic element used for representing the resolution 2 is added to each of the Tile region 2 and the Tile region 3; and the Tile region 4 is encoded by using the resolution 3, and a syntactic element used for representing the resolution 3 is added to the Tile region 4.

In this embodiment of this application, the syntactic element used for indicating the resolution used in encoding the Tile region may be a piece of data located at a fixed position of the encoded data. At the position, different data values represent different resolutions. The syntactic element representing the resolution corresponding to the Tile region may be added at this position.

For example, the fixed position of the encoded data may be a position corresponding to an xth byte to a yth byte in a header of encapsulated data used for encapsulating the encoded data, where x and y are natural numbers, the encapsulated data includes a data body and the header, the data body is used for storing the encoded data, and the header is used for storing a timestamp, custom data, and the like of the encoded data. For example, the xth byte to the yth byte in the header store a resolution used for encoding and decoding. When the current video frame needs to be decoded, the encapsulated data is parsed, and the flag bit data is obtained through the xth byte to the yth byte in the header, so that a decoder side decodes the Tile region by using the resolution corresponding to the Tile region according to a correspondence that is between the Tile region and the resolution and that is indicated by using the flag bit data.

In this embodiment of this application, different identification values may be directly used in syntactic elements to indicate different resolutions. For example, the resolution 1 is represented by 00, the resolution 2 is represented by 01, the resolution 3 is represented by 10, and the resolution 4 is represented by 11. The manner in which an identification value is used to represent a resolution is not limited thereto. Various identification value representation manners that can distinguish resolutions may be used to indicate different resolutions used in different regions.

In this embodiment of this application, the flag bit data may be determined in, but not limited to, the following manners:

S1. Determine an identification value corresponding to the Tile region according to a relationship between the resolution corresponding to the Tile region and a resolution corresponding to a previous Tile region of the Tile region.

S2. Determine the identification value corresponding to the Tile region as the flag bit data.

In this embodiment of this application, an identification value corresponding to a current Tile region may be used to indicate a relationship between a resolution of the current Tile region and a resolution of a previous Tile region of the current Tile region. The identification value corresponding to the Tile region is determined according to the relationship between the resolution of the current Tile region and the resolution of the previous Tile region.

In some embodiments, the determining an identification value corresponding to the Tile region according to a relationship between the resolution corresponding to the Tile region and a resolution corresponding to a previous Tile region of the Tile region includes:

S1. Determine the identification value corresponding to the Tile region as a first identification value in a case that the resolution corresponding to the Tile region is the same as the resolution corresponding to the previous Tile region of the Tile region.

S2. Determine the identification value corresponding to the Tile region as a second identification value in a case that the resolution corresponding to the Tile region is different from the resolution corresponding to the previous Tile region of the Tile region.

In this embodiment of this application, the relationship between the resolutions may include, but is not limited to: the resolutions are the same or the resolutions are different. The first identification value is used to indicate that the resolutions are the same, and the second identification value is used to indicate that the resolutions are different. For example, 1 is used to indicate that the resolutions are the same, and 0 is used to indicate that the resolutions are different; or 0 is used to indicate that the resolutions are the same, and 1 is used to indicate that the resolutions are different.

In this embodiment of this application, for the first Tile region in each frame, an identification value may be used to directly indicate a resolution used by the Tile region, or an identification value may be further used to indicate a relationship between resolutions of the Tile region and a last Tile region in a previous frame.

In this embodiment of this application, the flag bit data of the Tile region may be alternatively determined according to a relationship between a first resolution corresponding to the Tile region and a second resolution of a reference Tile region corresponding to the Tile region in a reference video frame of the current video frame.

In some embodiments, the determining the flag bit data of the Tile region according to a relationship between a first resolution corresponding to the Tile region and a second resolution of a reference Tile region corresponding to the Tile region in a reference video frame of the current video frame includes:

S1. Determine the identification value corresponding to the Tile region according to the relationship between the first resolution corresponding to the Tile region and the second resolution of the reference Tile region.

S2. Determine the identification value corresponding to the Tile region as the flag bit data.

In this embodiment of this application, the relationship between the resolutions may be represented by using an identification value. The identification value may indicate whether the resolutions are the same, a difference between levels corresponding to the resolutions, and the like.

In this embodiment of this application, the identification value corresponding to the Tile region may be added to a position of the flag bit data.

In some embodiments, the determining the identification value corresponding to the Tile region according to the relationship between the first resolution corresponding to the Tile region and the second resolution of the reference Tile region includes:

S1. Determine the identification value corresponding to the Tile region as the first identification value in a case that the first resolution corresponding to the Tile region is the same as the second resolution corresponding to the reference Tile region.

S2. Determine the identification value corresponding to the Tile region as the second identification value in a case that the first resolution corresponding to the Tile region is different from the second resolution corresponding to the reference Tile region.

In this embodiment of this application, if the resolution of the Tile region is the same as the resolution of the reference Tile region, the identification value corresponding to the Tile region may be represented by the first identification value. If the resolution of the Tile region is different from the resolution of the reference Tile region, the identification value corresponding to the Tile region may be represented by the second identification value. For example, 1 represents that the resolution of the Tile region is the same as the resolution of the reference Tile region, and 0 represents that the resolution of the Tile region is different from the resolution of the reference Tile region. Alternatively, 1 represents that the resolution of the Tile region is different from the resolution of the reference Tile region, and 0 represents that the resolution of the Tile region is the same as the resolution of the reference Tile region.

In some embodiments, the determining the identification value corresponding to the Tile region according to the relationship between the first resolution corresponding to the Tile region and the second resolution of the reference Tile region includes:

S1. Determine a fourth identification value corresponding to the first resolution corresponding to the Tile region among a plurality of identification values, and a third identification value corresponding to the second resolution corresponding to the reference Tile region among the plurality of identification values, different resolutions among the plurality of resolutions being corresponding to different identification values among the plurality of identification values.

S2. Perform an operation on the third identification value and the fourth identification value, and determine an operation result as the identification value corresponding to the Tile region.

In this embodiment of this application, different resolutions in the plurality of resolutions correspond to different identification values in the plurality of identification values, that is, the resolution of the Tile region and the resolution of the reference Tile region correspond to respective identification values in the plurality of identification values. For example, the resolution of the Tile region corresponds to the fourth identification value, and the resolution of the reference Tile region corresponds to the third identification value. A difference between the third identification value and the fourth identification value may be determined as the identification value corresponding to the Tile region, that is, the flag bit data.

In this embodiment of this application, a second syntactic element may be further added to encoded data corresponding to the Tile region. The second syntactic element is used for indicating a position of the reference video frame.

In this embodiment of this application, the second syntactic element may be used to indicate the position of the reference video frame, and the decoder side may determine and obtain the reference video frame according to the indication of the second syntactic element. For example, the second syntactic element may indicate a distance between a current video frame and the reference video frame.

The foregoing video encoding method and video decoding method may be applied to, but not limited to, a scenario of video encoding and decoding processing shown in FIG. 9. In this scenario, for a tth frame to be encoded in the video, a region in the tth frame is divided into different Tile regions, as shown in FIG. 9, including a Tile1 region, a Tile2 region, a Tile3 region, and a Tile4 region. The division manner in FIG. 9 is merely an example, and a quantity and a shape of Tile regions in a frame are not limited in this embodiment of this application. In this application, the term “unit” or “module” refers to a computer program or part of the computer program that has a predefined function and works together with other related parts to achieve a predefined goal and may be all or partially implemented by using software, hardware (e.g., processing circuitry and/or memory configured to perform the predefined functions), or a combination thereof. Each unit or module can be implemented using one or more processors (or processors and memory). Likewise, a processor (or processors and memory) can be used to implement one or more modules or units. Moreover, each module or unit can be part of an overall module that includes the functionalities of the module or unit.

Different resolutions are used to calculate rate distortion costs in different Tile regions, and a resolution corresponding to a smallest rate distortion cost is used as the resolution used on the Tile regions. For example, for the Tile1 region, a resolution 1, a resolution 2, and a resolution 3 in a predetermined resolution set are separately used to calculate corresponding rate distortion costs, and the resolution 2 corresponds to the smallest rate distortion cost. In this case, the resolution 2 is used to encode blocks in the Tile1 region.

As shown in FIG. 10, in the video encoding process of this application, different blocks in a frame of a video are adaptively encoded by using corresponding resolutions, so that regardless of whether a transmission bandwidth is relatively small (for example, less than a bandwidth threshold Th shown in FIG. 10), or whether the transmission bandwidth is relatively large (for example, larger than the bandwidth threshold Th shown in FIG. 10), corresponding PSNRs are relatively large, and distortion is relatively small.

In addition, because different blocks in a frame of a video are adaptively encoded by using corresponding resolutions, there is no need to select the corresponding resolutions according to an intersection (for example, an intersection in FIG. 1) corresponding to different types of videos or different frames of the same video or different blocks in the same frame during encoding of frames in the video, which reduces encoding complexity.
